Word of the Week: Edging
This week, we’re diving into a fun and powerful sexual technique that can elevate your pleasure: edging.
What is Edging?
Edging is the practice of deliberately delaying orgasm to build anticipation and increase the eventual intensity of pleasure. By getting to the edge of orgasm and then stopping or slowing down, you create a buildup that results in a more powerful release when you finally let go. It’s a great way to enhance both solo and partnered sessions, leading to stronger, more satisfying climaxes.
How Does Edging Work?
The idea behind edging is simple but effective. As you approach orgasm, you intentionally pause or reduce stimulation, allowing your arousal to plateau instead of peak. This tension makes the eventual orgasm feel even more intense when you finally allow yourself to release.
Want to Try Edging?
Here’s how you can give it a go:
· Grab Your Favorite Toy: For penis owners, a stroker or sleeve is perfect for edging. For those with vulvas, a clitoral vibrator works best because you can easily remove it when approaching climax. Avoid toys designed for internal stimulation, as they may be harder to disengage quickly when you're nearing orgasm.
· Slow Down: As you feel yourself approaching orgasm, stop or slow down. It can help to move your hands away from your body entirely. Focus on the sensations in the moment and enjoy the heightened feeling of almost getting there.
· Start Again: Once the urge to climax subsides, resume the activity and repeat the process. You can edge a few times before letting yourself finally release.
· Let it Happen: After 2-3 cycles of edging, allow yourself to orgasm. The buildup will make the final release even more intense and satisfying.
